Jbasile Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 What they all said, Hasbin. That is indeed a bad month. You are one helluva good human being standing up for Dad here. Alzheimers is a horrible, horrible ailment. My dad had it for the last 6 years of his life. It was just freakin amazing how he couldn't remember anything recent at all including who I was at times. BUT, he would talk about his war flying experiences of the 1940's and articulate them in incredibly great detail. It is some freaky sh#t, that alzheimers. Sorry to hear about the situation with your parents. You are a good man. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallRider Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Hasbin - sorry to hear about your folks. My father-in-law, a professional photographer, slowly lost his eyesight over his last few years while my mother-in-law gradually succumbed to Alzheimers. They would go for a drive - she driving and describing the surroundings and he giving her directions from memory. Amazing how they ever got from point A to point B - alive. Since he died, she's been splitting her time between living with my brother-in-law and my sister-in-law, but sooner rather than later she will need a full-time care facility. We knew how far the disease had progressed when we went back to MN to visit and as we came up the walk, she looked at my wife - her daughter - and said "Who's that cute gal with Bob?" On her birthday once, when she was turning 76, she asked me just how old she was. "You're just 55 Mim!" I replied, and she broke into laughter knowing she wasn't 55 but not knowing exactly how old she really was. Ironically, we had the same exchange (complete with laughter) several times that day and it was always as fresh as the first time. It's a curse to have, to live and deal with, but the blessing is that she has taught us to live in the moment. As trite as it sounds, it's true. Our thoughts are with you.

I just hope there is someone smart enough out there to document all of the electronic history that has occurred since the net went public back in 1993. I think it is a shame that we've apparently become an undocumentable society, such, that generations that follow us will never know what went thru our minds when it is all said and done. Very sad. Just thawin out from a cold 50 miler Joe B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
